Naomi Isted has admitted she was told she needed an "unnecessary hysterectomy" for her debilitating health issues. The popular TV presenter has detailed how she was advised to get the major surgery for a health problem which she ultimately treated by simply changing her diet. Naomi was diagnosed with a 10cm fibroid which had left her housebound.
She revealed how the non-cancerous growth caused her to suffer from problematic extremely heavy periods. The periods would leak through her clothes if she was not vigilant about them. Working as a self-employed interior designer, TV personality, and businesswoman, Naomi was left afraid that she would end up having an embarrassing leak on TV, which left her at least £20,000 out of pocket.
Opening up about the ordeal she told MailOnline: "It was so bad. I was bleeding so heavily I couldn't leave the house. I couldn't even leave my bedroom.
I couldn't go out, couldn't see friends. "I couldn't go to red carpets. I couldn't go out to work events.
So I couldn't work with any brands at the time because, you know, it's totally impacted my work and my social life." Naomi's diagnosis came after her bleeding got increasingly more heavy over a period of three years. She was eventually left "devastated" when the doctor told her she would need a hysterectomy for a 10cm fibroid.
She fearfully opted to undergo an embolisation instead but three months on, nothing had changed. She then decided to seek a second opinion from a private doctor. Once there.
